FYI, pressing Q twice will tap all your lands at once to make it easier to count your mana. You can then press Z and undo the tapping. It's really useful for decks like this with tons of mana.

I don't know if someone already said it, but you could have won game 2 with the first attack. You could have activaed Bill's second ability two times, which doubles all the +1+1 counters on all your creatures. This would have been an additional 21 damage!

Hey Miguel 👋 I know lots of people have been reaching out and saying they're glad you're back, and I wanted to do the same. I know the videos are long gone, but I was a fan back when you used to do Pokémon Draft battles! I was sad to see you leave that, but I was glad you found your niche. You stopped playing Magic right as I had started to get into it 😢 but I never wanted to unsub as thanks for the memories. Super super glad you're back, and even if you wander or drift, I'll be here ❤ I'm sure others will be, too. Do not sweat it 👊

That first game had Mogwai, Nissa, and Grixis. It was like 2019 all over again :) Good times! Great video as always!!

Nissa was "downgraded" to a creature, after war of machine (well.. just after you stopped playing mtg, kind of) most planeswalkers lost their spark.. and became creatures. For those who dont play mtg, I am not a native english speaker, so if you like lore, I really recommend you search for it, it was very interesting.

About the planeswalker creature, that happened due to invasion of phyrexian lore. The planeswalkers lost their spark and became creatures.

Very briefly, Marcel Snap sucked Creative wise. The Meta is dumb and dictated by who can get their hands on the more recent busted cards available for Absurd prices or investments. The low amount of cards in a deck, the poor difference the distributions make and the general pool of "This card is too good to be used and the others that don't get used are way too bad to actually be of any Real use" cards made every _Good_ deck feel the same. This was really bad since Mogway seems to really shine when making Cool and nicely crafted decks.

Watching the deck tech and i start thinking the reason Mogwai slays so hard is cuz of how tightly his decks are constructed. Start watching the games and i pivot to attributing it to his crucial plays instead. Then by the time i finish the vid i remember its because hes the friggin GOAT!

As someone who watched you during Pokémon drafts and LOR, it’s soo fun watching how wide your scope of games you know how to play in such fun ways and reach such varied audience great vid As always

Really glad you are playing a real meta deck! I love the changes you made for best of 1. I would love to see more tournment decks in the future :)

Here we go baby! Green goodness and tax evasion (I missed the fact that bristly bill has an activated ability so many times, I feel your pain in that game 2)

Hi Mog! One of your fans. I loved your decks ever since LoR. Especially the swain decks. Sadly I didn’t play Snap. Glad to see you played Arena! I do hope that someday, you will try other formats in arena! Wishing you happiness and a healthy mental state in this game.

You brought out the RUG 🔥💧🌳 ! My favorite wedge, looks so beautiful to play.

Miguel, me gustaría ver un deck enfocado en elementals ... Tú y Pejman tenían una de combo con Risen Reef y Neoform 😂 as ramp and endgame con Yarok y Omnath or mill con Jace. ❤ I loved that deck, would love to see one like it again.

HOLY SHIT HES BACK I just caught up with the news on your channel, you got me into this game

I have a deck idea that I haven't been able to fully make work! There's a lot of synergistic legendaries in Naya colors that care about tokens entering the battlefield when you attack. Samut, Pia Nalaar (boros thopters one), and Anim Pakul on the board together, combined with impulse draw, make a DEADLY board state that grows out of control. I just haven't gotten the hang of 60-card deckbuilding yet, I mostly play commander. Could you try building a deck with these three legends in there? What I suggest is some impulse draw (Quintorious Kand, planeswalker; Questing Druid), protection (Take Up The Shield maybe?)

I followed you for a long time, and also followed magic conted for quite a while already I can say that you are one of the best content creators of this game, keep it up! :D

A lot of old walkers were creatures pre-spark, including Bolas and Teferi. Blind Seer legendary was actually Urza in disguise...if I remember correctly.

Hey Mog, i just started testing MTG Arena a little after you started. I have only played Commander IRL and play HS. What is the reason you play Standard over Alchemy? Not sure what i'll go for

Keep them coming, Mogwai! Saludos desde Costa Rica! El mejor youtuber de juegos de cartas!

mogwai thumbnail suggestion add a tiny bit of drop shadow to the color emblems and magic logo/title. it should help them pop slightly more. could be wrong and its honestly such a small thing and ur a way bigger youtuber than me so wtf do ik right but i felt the need to give my 2 cents on that lol. love all the games u play keep it up!

Im so exited to play this game bcs of you and MTG is a lil bit complicated, do you have a deck that beginner friendly? keep up the great works, i love your videos!

What will you replace Memory Deluge with next month?

Has it been tricky getting back up to speed with all the new cards and mechanics, or did you keep tabs on what was going on with MTG?

@@MegaMogwai That's great that you're having so much fun with magic again. I remember one of the last events you recorded, you got completely mana screwed/flooded after doing a ton of practice and prep for the event. It was really unfortunate. The game to me feels much faster than it did 4 years ago.

Yo mogwai, im curious if you will try other magic formats. Like EDH is really fun imo!

Insane deck, ill play it, but... I'm waiting for your grixis ideas... 😈. Your grixis decks was... Omg

I think you could win on 45:11, if you used dopplegang with X = 4 on lands, especially with the opponent's land that produces 2 mana, you could Worldsoul's rage for enough damage

Man this is the type of deck I would love to play, just need to collect all the cards cause I barely have any :(

So many extra lands: it's almost like you were playing Nadu.

Solid vid

PC version or android?

You could've used Bill ability to double the counters and swing for lethal broski, but all good, monored brain can't process not winning on turn 3 so you were just fighting an AI

just wait till mog discovers Karn, The Great Creator was a card wizards printed.

i feel like most of his opponents surrender out of boredom rather then realising they were dead xD

Thank you for the clear explanation!

You said you don't know why people don't like this deck, so I thought I would mention a couple of reasons. #1 by a mile is that playing against this deck is like watching paint dry. There are a million triggers with the Analyst and with Nissa, and then you also have Ill-Timed and Deluge that take time to choose the right cards. People playing this deck take FOREVER to play a single turn. For those of us that actually enjoy a turn-based game where both players get turns, this deck is absolutely painful. #2 is that this deck can't really be beaten by a 'normal' deck, unless the 'normal' deck draws perfectly on the play or this deck draws very poorly. It has plenthy of lifegain with the stupid fetch lands, it has boardwipes for creature control, it has plenty of card selection / draw, and it has recursion for its creatures if they happen to die early. Oh, and the Analyst trigger requires no mana, so it can't even be interrupted.

Idk if this is the same intro from the time you played mtg, but it could use some work. Kinda meh compared to the lor or snap intros

Is there an archetype like deep in magic? Milling your own deck then pop off like crazy?

@ArsArmatoria

Ай бұрын

Yes, there is, but it's mostly viable in formats with older cards. Technically, there are multiple ways to play with self mill, all centering around different key cards, but the most common uses the mechanic called "dredge". It can be really broken, though.

You should take a look into dredge. Really fun (a bit different than Deep but self milling is the way!) It's mostly only played in older formats (it's usually one of the cheapest decks to build in those formats as well)

comment for the algo yuju

Fetch lands

mogwai dissing mono red brain while completely misjudging the situation was pretty funny tbh no offense, it is easy to overlook an effect, especially if you're new to a deck but it was pretty ironic

Top tier

Not to nitpick, but you had lethal at 39:00 by playing the second virtue. The effects are cumulative, so if you have 2 in play, each land basic land taps for 9 mana!

“Nissa Who Shakes the World”, not shapes it. She shakes them worlds, both of them. Oh, and she still sees play in older formats (Historic and Explorer - mono-green devotion deck, built around Nyx, the multi-mana land from original Theros 2014)

I actually quit mtg because of nissa, shaper of worlds, it was so boring to fight and play, that year of mtg standard was just so cursed

I just started so i cant play any of these decks 😢

Your rust is showing at 45:16 you shouldve Doublgang X=4 target 4 lands making 16 lands getting 16 nissa triggers then worldsouls for moret then 30

Tienes razon en lo que se dice de los mono-rojo son de tendencia muy mono-neuronal 😂

To answer your question on why people don't like this kind of decks, it's because each turn takes 9 minutes to complete. It feels like watching your opponent play a single player game.

Marvel snappppppp

You could have won the last game with even more style, by casting Doppelgang and copying opponent’s Terror of the Peaks (the dragon). You would get multiple copies of it (not to mention other creatures) and they would all see each other enter the battlefield, dealing damage to any target equal to their power.

If only not for the arena's economy...

Well,well,well, if it isn't my favorite fake brazilian with another banger, thank you lord mogwai! 🫡
